What is the Tibetan word for Hello?

There are a few ways to say "hello" in Tibetan, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Tashi Delek (བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས): This is the most common and formal greeting, meaning "Good fortune and good health." It's appropriate for all occasions.

Informal:

* Kyang (ཁྱང): This is a casual and friendly greeting, similar to "Hey" in English.

* Tashi (བཀྲ་ཤིས་): This is a shorter version of "Tashi Delek," often used between friends.

* Dek (བདེ་ལེགས): This is a very informal greeting, similar to "Hi" in English.

The best way to say "hello" in Tibetan depends on your relationship with the person you are greeting. For example, you would use "Tashi Delek" for someone you don't know very well, but "Kyang" or "Tashi" for someone you are close to.
